His Perfect Daughter

Chapter 64

*That same morning.

Helena hadn't sleep a bit. All she could think about is what Cary told her yesterday that afternoon. Thankfully the baby was a good distraction. "Well Judas...you're better than most. Ya barely cry, don't shit and piss as much, barely complain, and don't annoy me." She grinned as she looked down at the radiant copper haired baby. Although his ocean blue-green eyes made her feel uneasy, but she'd have to get used to it.

She'd already built a nursery in one of the rooms for the infant and was getting used to taking care of someone else other than her. This will be easy. She thought. That is until the baby grows into a child...Then all hell breaks loose. She groaned. She didn't mean it literally, but who knows considering what this child was prophesied to do.

As Helena got up with the infant in hand, she sensed an aura near by. Shit! what does she want? Helena angrily questioned as she put the baby in the crib and stepped out of the nursery room. She then went into the kitchen, poured a cup of tea, and waited.

Davina didn't know why she came back. Was this a mistake? Was this a stupid idea? She would soon find out as she opened the cabin door and found Helena in the kitchen. "Well this is a nice change of scenery. But who's cabin is this really?" Davina looked around the cabin. It looked like one of those old antique bookstores.

"Yeah well this spot ain't for business so I'll have to spell it off the grid. And believe it or not, mine." Helena spoke as she made a cup of coffee and walked over, handing it to Davina. "What brings ya here?" She questioned.

"Hm let me guess... the baby? I already sensed it miles away when I first walked into the Bayou. No point in lying to me." Davina shrugged as she continued, "as I said...your secrets are safe with me. Obviously this makes me an accomplice, but it is what it is. Just so you know...I am not getting involved in this baby drama. I'm just here because...well....I don't know." She sighed as Davina took the cup from Helena and started sipping.

"Figured. I haven't protected it from witches yet because witches come and go at the Bayou. But just for precaution." Helena stated as she recited a spell in latin. "Alright, back to you. Well then this is a dumb move for ya. Wouldn't you wanna know less as an accomplice? This just makes it worse to keep a secret. Not to mention who you'll have to run into Niklaus and Hope sometimes. How ya plan on keeping this secret?" She voiced.

"Listen....I might not be in this mess with you anymore, but I'm always going to keep whatever goes on between us right here. Whatever happens here stays here, right?" Davina joked as she continued, "I won't just abandon you like that. One thing I am is loyal. I would never betray you unless I knew you betrayed me. Which I know won't happen unless I did something. I know you. Even though it's only been a couple of months. I just know you. I know deep down you have values despite all of this." Davina explained as she caressed Helena's arm and smiled.

Helena didn't know why, but she started to cry. What is with these all people telling me things like that? First Cary...now Davina?

"Helena..." Davina uttered as she grabbed Helena and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry...did I say something wrong?" She whispered as she caressed Helena's back.

"It's not you. I-I've just...It's just a lot to take in lately...I don't know if I can handle this." Helena confessed as Davina parted from her and began to wipe Helena's tears.

"I've never seen you like this before. This is obviously taking a toll on you and it's not a good thing for both of you. What is it? You can tell me. You know that." Davina softly spoke as she rubbed her shoulder.

"That's cause I don't wanna be like this. Especially not in front of someone." Helena stated as she continued, "I know I know. This isn't good for Judas. He can't have someone taking care of him who's gonna go bananas every second. I just gotta calm down and put this all behind me." She responded as she took a deep breath in.
